A poorly shot video of the inside of a class 44 locomotive. It was an unexpected opportunity and in my excitement I clearly seem to have forgotten how to use my phone camera! I think that , in the olden days, this may have been called ‘cabbing’!!

Class 44 (44004) leading the train and class 45 (45108) at the rear. This was on a ‘top & tail’ running day at the Midland Railway - Butterley in Derbyshire recently. #trains #diesellocomotive #britishrailways #railways #trainspotting #heritagerailway #class44 #class45 | Adrian Watson

Inside a class 44 diesel electric locomotive. This is D8 (44008) ‘Penyghent’ at the Peak Rail heritage line in Derbyshire. This locomotive is occasionally available for ‘driver experience days’. So you can book to drive this beauty from Rowsley to Matlock and back. #trains #diesellocomotive #britishrailways #railways #trainspotting #heritagerailway #class44 | Adrian Watson
